While Hiro and Ando attempt to save Suresh, Bennet tries to expose Samuel's weakness in his attempt to defeat the carnival leader.
 
This episode sucked...Oh wait the show has not started yet..must be getting to use to saying that.
 
This is episode 15? Aren't there only 19 this season? Please let something of substance happen this week, unlike last week's double whammy of mediocre plodding.

We'll be out of our misery soon!
 
So let me get this straight:

A few episodes ago Hiro puts Mohinder into a psychiatric hospital for no reason whatsoever. Tonight, he tries to free Mohinder from the psychiatric hospital for no reason whatsoever. That folks is great writing.
 
Don't forget Hiro has also had his brain muddled up AGAIN to prevent him being competent AGAIN for no reason whatsoever.

I don't think a single thing in the last 3 volumes has happened for any kind of reason. Volume 3 everything happened for the sake of a cliffhanger and the other two everything that happened happened because of poor, lazy, boring writing.
 
I'm through with the show. Fringe is on tonight and while I could DVR Heroes I simply don't care. I don't care about the characters or any of the storylines.
 
Does Claire look kinda hooker-ish in the pic at the top?

And why is everyone in mid-step? Not a single pose looks like a natural step, especially Mohinder's, since he's not landing heel first. And Hero's, since he's waaaay leaning forward. But they're the resident loons, right?
 
Entertaining enough but the standard has been so low that it is the usual crap. This show has become a farce of itself. The whole scene with the Arkham escape was like watching Mad TV do a skit on Heroes.

I smirked when Noah says "that was a mistake" in regards to them using Sylar as Nathan. It was as if the writers of the show were talking to us, trying to say sorry for that stupid storyline, that just got reset lol.

Anyway there was a final 5 Cylon sighting, but boy was she underused. And Parkman's acting has gone to shit.

I hope (really hope) they end this show on some kind of a high note and just put it out if its frakkin misery. Such promise when it started... I'll stick to the end but I just don't find myself caring about these characters and storylines at all, anymore...
 
I think the only highlight in this episode was the escape scene where Ando's all drugged up and being pushed in a wheel chair down the hallway by Mohinder "it's like I'm swimming, but inside out!" haha

But yeah absolutely nothing fucking happened in this episode, but begrudgingly will continue to see this show to the end of the season regardless of how bad it's gotten, seriously WTF! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Have you even watched the episodes before this?

Hiro stuck him there to save him from Samuel and now that the coast is clear, they are trying to get him back.
 
I thought Hiro stuck Suresh in the asylum because Suresh wanted to go and stop Samuel, but Hiro wouldn't allow that because Samuel needs to tell him where/when Charlie is.

Given the reaction to this one I'm just going to skip it. Clearly anything of relevance (ha!) will be in the 'previously' next week. Ah well.
 
Wow. You know, back in season 2 (as far back as this board's archive goes), these threads would get 200+ replies. Now... nobody cares. Just indicative of how far this show has fallen. :(

Yeah I've watched every episode.

In the episode Brother's Keeper, I was under the impression that Hiro put Mohinder in the asylum to keep him safe and out of the way for 8 weeks. (This is instead of taking Mohinder with him into the future, thus fixing the problem in a much more simple way.) Now they have to "rescue" Mohinder from the asylum when there was no reason to put him there in the first place.

Yet you voted.
Does one really need to watch the episode in order to know it is going to be in the below average area?:lol:

Say what you will about HEROES but it is consistent--it probably deserves recognition for the longest stretch of mediocrity I've seen pushing aside Enterprise.

And nothing has changed anyway. Samuel still has Charlie somewhere, so whatever Hiro is doing now, he could have done 8 weeks ago since nothing has really changed in those 8 weeks.
